 I'm an Ultimate Collection cherry picker and my local Asda currently still put out one issue on the shelves. I wasn't going to dip on Zombie cos I keep my progs, but finding out everything's in there really swung it for me. Picked it up today and I'm so glad I did. It's so pretty.

That's the first report I've heard of anyone receiving the covers book and it's someone who hadn't requested it.  Classic.

It really is a cracking volume. I was hoping really for a book of the first three series only, to leave things on a more conclusive, final note - but actually Planet Zombo is left on much less of an open cliffhanger than I remembered, not least in the fact that, with only two exceptions, the entire [spoiler]supporting cast are dead![/spoiler]

Bit annoying that the Planetronix solo isn't included when Al Ewing's rhapsodising about it in the essay and calling it 'probably the best thing I've ever written'...!  :lol:

I'm a subscriber and a few days ago I got 17 & 18 (Slaine & Zombo) & Covers special, But not 15 & 16 yet.

Last time I got future issues was when they did the spine error.

If it's 17 & 18 I'm surprised he has the covers special where everyone else has got the sketch book.

I could be wrong. Interested to know what the covers special is like myself.

It is the sketch book.

I thought it was the cover special, sorry My bad.

Got the sketch book here, and I've got a question: Why are some sketches shown as negatives/half coloured in with red?
All a bit distracting in my opinion.

Received 15 and 16 with the missing bookends which is weird as the Facebook messenger said I was getting 17 and 18, think there customer service just make it up

I suspect that the distribution is being handled by a sub-contractor and that communication between them and the team running the FB page is via chinese whispers and post it notes only.

I vote spatulamancy and smoke signals.

Well, finally got round to reading Zombo, and I'd say its....interesting, but to be honest not really my cup of tea.  Maybe on a reread, but I just didn't get why it was so acclaimed.

Slaine Vol 2 scheduled for release on 15th August, making it issue 26.

Of course, subscribers will get it the month following, as it stands.
